Kamio Detail Mounting Kamio to Lens The Kamio 6E Ring-Light is designed to mount directly onto the camera lens. An expandable clamping ring is designed to fit lenses with an outside diameter of 112mm (e.g. Panavision Primo Primes). Turn the locking screw to clamp down on the lens. Lens adapter rings are available to accommodate various smaller lens diameters. (See “Accessories” for details.) Note: The Kamio is only recommended for fixed barrel lenses.
Changing Lamps Extract the lamp by pushing the lamp harness through the reflector. The lamp will clear the reflector making it easier to grasp. Applying Gel Filters IMPORTANT: Prior to using the filter frame, remove translucent protective plastic coating from both sides. Use the steel gel template to cut a filter to the correct size. The filter is then taped to the transparent filter frame.
Ballast Operation Warning! To Ensure Proper Operation ALWAYS TURN OFF THE BALLAST BEFORE connecting or disconnecting lamps, harnesses or head extension cables. Maximum distance is 30ft (2 x 15ft cables). Ballast Operation The Kamio Ballast (BAL-149X) operates remote from the fixture. Connect the Kamio lamp harness to the extension cable or the Ballast, making sure to rotate the locking ring until it clicks into the locked position. After the lamps are properly installed, the Ballast can be turned on.
Mounting Ballast MTP-141 Mounting Bracket, MTP-141, is required to mount the ballast to a baby pin. Loosen thumbscrew on the MTP-141 sufficiently to allow the flange to insert into the track on the underside of the ballast. MTP-141S Baby Shoe Adapter, MTP-141S, is used to mount the Ballast to a camera equipped with a hot shoe receptacle. Slide the flange of the MTP-141S into the hot shoe receptacle on the camera. Lock the pin by screwing down the thumbscrew.
